    Top 300 Comics for November 2010

    Stephen SchleicherBy 3 Comments2 Mins Read

    Comic book sales were down once again in November, according to Diamond Comic Distributors. The direct market distributor noted sales dropped 6.34% compared to October 2010, with graphic novels slipping 9.30%. One potential reason for the dollar drop from last month could be the drop in the number of units sold, a difference of approximately 3.6%. However, when compared to November 2009, the monthly numbers look even worse, as comic sales dropped 10.2%. On the plus side, graphic novel sales grew almost 15% from a year ago, which may give some credence to DC pulling J. Michael Strazynski to work on graphic novels exclusively.

    DC actually ended up at the top of the charts in November with Batman: The Return taking the number one spot. The company also placed eight other titles in the top ten compared to Marvel’s Avengers #7 (3rd place) and Amazing Spider-Man #648 (9th place) showing. Still, Marvel held the dollar and unit share for the month, but just barely, as the two big publishers were separated by 1.36% in terms of money. That is probably the closest margin the two companies have seen in a while.

    Rounding out the Top 5 publishers – Image (3), Dark Horse Comics (4), and IDW Publishing (5).

    Take the jump for the complete list of the Top 300 Comics for November.

      Does anyone out there know how this ranking works?

      I’ve heard that everything is compared to Batman which is why Batman always has an index of 100.00.

      That’s all well and nice but how do you find out how many issues of an individual title were sold?

      I’m guessing that this is a percentage based thing so that BATMAN THE RETURN #1 with an Index of 152.65 sold 1.5265 times more copies than BATMAN but that still doesn’t tell me how many total issues of a title were sold.
